(bottle) Very dark brown, almost black coloured hue with a small tanned foamy head. Sweet and moderately toasted malty nose, slightly bready and shy fruity (plums) with rudiments of herbal hops. Sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a smooth carbonation. Malty, slightly ashy and slightly fruity taste with notes of alcohol; sweet malt-accented and moderately alcoholic finish with a touch of dried fruits in the aftertaste (19.07.07).

Jun 6, 2008 500ml bottle at Reading BF 08. Very deep brown with thin beige head. Chewy, tasty beer. Very pleased with this one. Toffee flavours, but roasted at the same time and slightly buttery. Tasty and satisfying.
